    I believe this has changed enough that it should be revisited from scratch. So I will close this pull request.

> The docs seem to assume that Cordova was already downloaded either via npm or from a PhoneGap distribution or similar. Though the Apache Way is to distribute source code, it isn't clear to the average consumer in the docs how to get Cordova up and running from either the source zips on dist.apache.org or from the repos at git-wip-us.apache.org. This documentation should be added, perhaps as a section such as "How to Obtain Cordova" and/or "How to Build Cordova from Source".
> There may be additional docs needed that describe how to bootstrap the docs (build the html from the md) if for some reason the user can't get them online at cordova.apache.org/docs.
